I read the documentation, saw your samples and did a very simple and very
easy test to help me seeing working before goes to the bigger task that is
to create an external to the report engine.
So, I put highlight js working on my application (just for testing purpose).
I highlight highlight js because a very simple library with only just a
simple function.
It works as expected, however I have a few questions:
1. The only way to work is to put the wrapper class (the one that
injects js code on the page header) on the root of the source code.
- I guess that the purpose is to inject the JS globally;
- There is any chance to put this class somehere else just for the
organizing pupose ?
2. I already saw COMPILE::JS several times on the framework and I see a
lot here. It works with or without it. What's the purpose of COMPILE::JS ?
I searched for an explanation but I couldn't found it.
